'Then you run the risk that you might go in the wrong direction.'
Stopping short of declaring Red Bull made a mistake by scrapping their RB19’s concept for the all-new RB20, Jack Plooij feels they reacted to rivals getting closer and ran the “risk” of going in the wrong direction.
But while it initially seemed that Red Bull had unlocked the concept’s potential with three 1-2 results in the season’s first four races, their Monaco struggles, which Verstappen says cannot be buffed out with a set-up change, have Plooij wondering if maybe they’ve made a mistake. Meanwhile, McLaren, who last season took a step closer towards the Red Bull RB19 concept and then built on that with this year’s MCL38, have closed right up on Red Bull’s heels.Verstappen was only fourth fastest on Friday where he was over half a second down on the Ferrari driver.
